Miss Piggy was disrespectful to Kermit's friends


I mean, she barely acknowledged them by name and was in their company! Especially Fozzie Bear, I don't think she ever called him or the others by name, the only time she spoke to him is when Fozzie spoke to her. Fozzie did the driving, as he pointed out to Miss Piggy. I watched the Muppet Caper as well and she was the same way. She owed all of Kermit's friends some gratitude, which she didn't give them.

That's because she is an arrogant and stuck up bitch and only cared about herself.

Lol!

Steve Martin was right all along. (^ ^)

Yeah she sure was

The irony is if they were to suddenly disappear from her life she would be very saddened by their absence. She actually does care for them, joining the crew on their adventures even if it's only to benefit herself under the pretense of looking after "Kermie" (keeping a close eye on him). It's self-esteem issues; she loves the attention, the lime-light, but has a hard time showing her true feelings for others in the vanity to stand up for herself by maintaining a strong, overbearing presence.
